Comment:

 Reopening cause there are some accessibility concerns here, would like to
 hear the accessibility/UI teams opinion about this. Most notably:
 - discoverability for screen reader users: disabled controls are skipped
 when tabbing
 - browsers fire the "change" event on select elements in different ways,
 see for example a similar issue in #30333 then reverted
 About the second issue, please try this using Firefox:
 - check some posts in the Posts screen
 - use the Tab key to focus the Bulk Edit select
 - don't expand the select but just change the selected option using the
 arrow keys
 - press Tab
 - the "Apply" button is skipped (no change event fired)

 The same thing happens when you expand the select, use the arrow keys to
 change the selected option and then press Tab.

 If you try this using Chrome or IE, you will notice that they do fire the
 change event when changing the selected option with the arrow keys. Worth
 noting that, according to the specs, the correct behavior is the Firefox
 one.
